Executing a clear with short option may not clear all alarms, even if all tests 
pass.

WARNING:
Since the “clear long” options clear all counters if tests pass, it is possible 
for firmware counters to be cleared even when a problem exists. In some 
cases customer service might degrade since calls may be routed over 
defective equipment.
Feature Interactions
With the enhancement of multiple maintenance users, there may be a possibility 
of two users attempting to test the same physical hardware (for example, one 
using the 
test alarms
 command and another using the 
test board
 command). If 
this command attempts to test a board that is currently being tested by another 
user, a error message displays.
Options form
After entering the 
test alarms
 command, you are presented with an options form 
for alarm selection.
